The concubine escaped and cried when she met the prince again

Yan Mo hesitated for a moment and asked his master, "Master, are we leaving today?"

Jiang Dichen said expressionlessly: "The drought is getting worse day by day. We can't wait any longer."

In the past few months, he has been locking himself in his house, living in a daze all day long. Now it is time to wake up and do something.

Although he still felt empty and uncomfortable in his heart, he couldn't continue like this, otherwise, before he could send out troops, others would have come to attack him.

Right now, the disaster is serious, and he must try his best to avoid war. Otherwise, if a war really breaks out in the future, the rear will not be able to keep up with the food and grass, which will be a disaster for the entire Beiming.

After hearing what his master said, Yan Mo knew that there was no time to lose, so he quickly bowed his head and said, "Yes, I'll do it right away."

After saying this, he walked in the opposite direction from his master.

When Jiang Dichen returned to the palace, he instructed Shi Nie, "Shi Nie, prepare your luggage and leave in an hour."

When Shi Nie heard that his master was going out, he looked up at him with some surprise and said, "Master, where are we going this time?"

Jiang Dichen said: "Go to Xiaolin Town, and then go north along Xiaolin Town."

After he finished speaking, he paused and explained to his subordinates: "This time, I am going to help the people in the disaster area dig wells. I don't know when I will return, so please bring as much luggage as you can."

"Yes, master." After hearing what his master said, Shi Nie hurried to pack up his things.

At this time, Butler Zhao came over to report to Jiang Dichen: "Your Majesty, the princess and cousin are here, and they want to see you."

Butler Zhao's words made Jiang Dichen frown. It was understandable that his own sister wanted to see him, but why did an outsider come along to join in the fun?

Seeing that his prince looked unhappy, Butler Zhao looked at him cautiously and said, "Prince, how about I go and tell the princess that you are busy?"

Since the death of Concubine Lan, the prince has become even colder and more ruthless than before. If he encounters anything that does not please him, the person will either be killed or injured. This makes the servants in the prince's mansion live in fear every day, fearing that they will accidentally offend their master.

Jiang Dichen wanted to ask the butler to send his sister away, but when he thought about his unknown return, he was silent for a moment and said to Butler Zhao, "Let the princess in, and forget about the other people."

"Yes, Your Highness." After Butler Zhao finished speaking, he turned around and went to inform the princess.

Not long after, Jiang Yingxue, accompanied by a girl a little older than her, suddenly broke into Jiang Dichen's study and shouted to him with a smile, "Fifth brother, look who I brought with me?"

Jiang Dichen turned around and saw Yao Chuyan coming too. He looked at his sister with an unhappy face and said, "Didn't I say that outsiders are not allowed to come in?"

Jiang Yingxue said to her brother coquettishly: "Fifth brother, Chuyan is my cousin, not an outsider."

Yao Chuyan came in later and saw that Jiang Dichen looked unhappy. She bowed to him and said, "Chuyan greets cousin."

Jiang Dichen was very unhappy with Yao Chuyan who came uninvited, but considering that she often played with her sister, he still nodded to her patiently.

Seeing that her brother was no longer angry, Jiang Yingxue quickly took the opportunity to say to him, "Fifth brother, I want to stay at my uncle's house for a while. Can you help me talk to the emperor?"

Maybe because she was a girl, her father's attitude towards her was not as good as his brother, so she didn't dare to ask him for instructions if she had any problems.

Jiang Dichen refused without thinking after hearing what his sister said: "No, you should go back to the palace immediately. You should stay in the palace and not come out without my permission in the future."

Jiang Dichen knew very well what his sister was thinking. She was pretending to go to live with her uncle, but she really wanted to take the opportunity to find Lan Zhixing. However, Lan Zhixing was not a good man, and no matter what, he would not let his sister go to find him again.

After hearing what her brother said, Jiang Yingxue suddenly burst into tears and said, "Fifth brother, I finally got out of the palace and you want to drive me away. Woo woo woo, you are so cruel."

Jiang Yingxue cried more and more sadly. She wiped her tears and cried to her brother: "Fifth brother, you no longer have me as your sister in your heart, wuwuwu..."

Jiang Dichen paused for a moment after hearing his sister's words, and asked her, "Xue'er, is it really that bad in the palace?"

Jiang Dichen didn't quite understand his sister's behavior. Although she was not very favored in the palace, because of him, no one dared to neglect her. She had the best food, clothing and other necessities. Was it worth it for her to run around all day for an unreliable man?

"No, no, not at all." Jiang Yingxue finished speaking, she looked up at her brother, her eyes full of tears and said: "Fifth brother, it's really boring to be in the palace every day. I want to go shopping freely, I want to see all kinds of new and interesting things outside, and I also want..."

His sister's words about wanting to go shopping freely reminded Jiang Dichen of the time when Shen Ruolan went shopping with him. That day, she was shopping happily and comfortably, like a bird that had been caged for too long and suddenly gained its freedom, happy like a child.

When Jiang Dichen thought of this, he suddenly felt sad. She must have been as eager for freedom as her sister at that time. She must have been bored, annoyed and tired of himself, so she left him forever.

"Fifth brother" Jiang Yingxue saw that her brother didn't say anything, so she gently shook his arm and called out.

Jiang Dichen came back to his senses from his memories when he heard his sister's voice. He reached out to wipe away the tears on her face and said, "Since you are bored in the palace, come out with me."

After hearing what her brother said, Jiang Yingxue looked up at him and asked happily, "Fifth brother, really? Where are we going?"

Jiang Dichen looked at his sister and said, "Go to the disaster area and help the people dig wells and find water sources."

"Okay, I'll go with Fifth Brother." As long as she could go out and play, Jiang Yingxue would not be picky about the place.

Jiang Dichen looked at his sister who was in a good mood and couldn't help but pour cold water on her, saying, "When you go out, it's not like the palace. When you go there, let alone taking a bath, even drinking water will be a problem. Don't regret it when you get there."

Jiang Yingxue vowed to her brother: "Fifth brother, as long as I can go out with you, I can endure any hardship and I will never regret it."

"Okay, go ask Nanny Cui to help you prepare. We'll set off in an hour." Seeing that his sister was determined to go, Jiang Dichen no longer tried to stop her.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Jiang Yingxue said, pulling Yao Chuyan aside and said, "Sister Yan, let's go quickly."

An hour later, Jiang Dichen arrived at the gate of the palace and saw his sister, accompanied by a group of palace maids and maids, waiting on the side. He frowned and said to her, "Xue'er, except for Maid Cui, everyone else should stay."
